사주 · Saju · Four Pillars

Korea has been reading birth charts for a thousand years.Yours is eight characters long.

If astrology is a map of the sky, Saju is a map of time. Your birth year, month, day, and hour each produce a pair of characters, and the eight together describe what you are made of and what you are short of. It has its own Sun sign, its own elements, and its own logic. No planets involved.

日Day Master
One of ten characters, fixed at your day of birth. It is the closest thing Saju has to a Sun sign, and every other part of the chart is read against it.
柱Four pillars
Year, month, day, hour. Each is a stem over a branch, eight characters in total. Where a natal chart maps the sky, this maps the moment in time.
行Five elements
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water. Not four. Their proportions in your chart are what a Saju reader looks at first, before anything else.
